KENDRICK LAMAR ENGAGED TO HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEART WHITNEY ALFORD

Congratulations are in order for Kendrick Lamar. The Compton rapper is engaged to his high school sweetheart Whitney Alford.

He confirmed the rumors while promoting his chart-topping album To Pimp a Butterfly on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” on Friday. “Yeah, definitely. I’m loyal to the soil,” said K-Dot when asked if he put a ring on it.

The couple, who has been dating since high school, lives together in South Bay, Calif. “At the end of the day, you want to always have real people around you, period,” he continued. “Everybody that’s been around me, they been around me since day one, and I can’t change that. I always show respect when respect has been given. People that been by your side, you’re supposed to honor that.”
